Magnetic and microstructural characterizations of CoFe and CoFeB nanowires

FeCo nanowires deposited in a magnetic field

“…The ordered arrays of MNWs fabricated with nanoporous templates, such as polycarbonate membranes [4] and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) plates [5], have attracted intense interest for decades, not only from the fundamental research, but also from technical applications, especially potential applications in magnetic storage devices [6][7][8][9][10], nanomedicine [11] and biotechnology [12].…”

The influence of asymmetric electrodeposition voltage on the microstructure and magnetic properties of FexCo1−x nanowire arrays

“…Thermal annealing may also relieve the internal stress; thereby a high degree of crystallinity may be obtained. Sharif et al [21] and others [12,18,22] also pointed out that the coercivity and squareness were improved by annealing in FeCo nanowires.…”

“…They can behave as one-dimensional permanent nanomagnets having interesting magnetic properties as ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) without applying any external DC magnetic field [15]. FeCo-based alloy nanowires have received much attention because of their low magnetic crystalline anisotropy, high saturation magnetization and elevated Curie temperature [16][17][18][19][20][21]. Magnetic properties of FeCo nanowires are reported to be mainly predominated by shape anisotropy of nanowires [22].…”

Ferromagnetic Nanowires and Nanotubes

“…Structural analysis understanding can be used to fabricate crystalline or amorphous nanowires and nanotubes according to the required applications. Shamaila et al, 2008b;Shamaila et al, 2009a;Shamaila et al, 2009b;Sharif et al, 2006;Sharif et al, 2007;Sharif et al, 2008a;Sharif et al, 2008b). Shape and geometry dependent magnetization behaviour of the CoPt nanowires and nanotubes is explained here.…”
